RE: DBA position for Amazon in the UK open

Actually the Netherlands was a member of the "coalition of the willing".

>From the Washington Post of March 19 2003 ...

"The Netherlands, another coalition member, issued a similar statement, affirming support for the U.S.-led effort while reassuring its people that its participation would only go so far. "The Netherlands' government . . . supports a possible action against Iraq. Whereas the Netherlands will not participate in any military action, it will continue to deploy its Patriot missiles in Turkey, for the defense of this NATO partner. And it speaks for itself that The Netherlands will also fully support the reconstruction of a free, democratic Iraq after the armed conflict," Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende said Monday."

However, it is correct that the U.S. is not a member of the EU.

No, the U.S. is not part of the EU and there is a bit of a tiff going on between the U.S. and the EU (esp. France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the other countries who opposed the war).

The EU is the European Union.

Are United States member of EU? I am a US resident. Not that I would go over there without a major war being fought in Europe....

Just to clarify:

"You must be eligible to work in the UK" means that we are not offering to sponsor candidates for UK work permits. This means that you must be an EU resident who is permitted to work in the UK under UK law.
